A binder-rich, very fast-setting restoration mortar engineered for in-situ running and bench casting of external architectural details. The blend combines Natural Cement (Roman-cement type), graded coarse sands, integral mineral pigments, and heavy fibre reinforcement to deliver crisp reproduction, low shrinkage, and exceptional edge stability—even on intricate profiles.
Rooted in 19th–20th-century practice, this modern take on Roman Cement is purpose-made for the re-production and repair of cornices, string courses, modillions, brackets, and mouldings on traditional façades.
Why specify this blend
-
Extremely rapid set: de-mould carefully at ~30 minutes (temperature/humidity dependent).
-
Binder-rich formulation: high early strength for reliable arrises and fine detail.
-
Heavily fibre reinforced: resists cracking and edge crumble; supports thin sections.
-
Low shrinkage: excellent dimensional stability during rapid cure.
-
Completely natural binder: Natural Cement/“Roman cement” chemistry; heritage-compatible.
-
Pigmented through-body: durable colour; ideal as a visual match for aged fabric.
-
Dual-mode use: optimized for in-situ running and casting work.
Best suited to: silicone rubber moulds.
Recommended applications
-
In-situ running of external cornices and continuous mouldings using a running mould.
-
Bench casting of discrete elements (modillions, consoles, brackets) for later fixing.
-
Patch repairs to Roman-cement façades where fast set and crisp detail are needed.
